Your time will come, I'm sure. And if two were enough for the Nelson, think what you could do with your three! :hmm:

Happy hunting.

I think my first BB was a Revenge Class...caught it around AM grid in the middle of the night. I didn't have the best firing position, but I only had one chance as she sailing at great speed. I fired a spread shot of all four forward tubes set to impact, the first passed infront of her bow, but the other three impacted under A and B turret, followed by the last midships, was really dissapointed not to see her magazine or fuel bunkers go up but I still got a nice entry in the logbook. She came to a stop and was adrift for about 15 minutes until she finally went down to 'ol Davie Jones' locker! (Thats the Royal Navy for you lol...damage control is pretty darn good!) I had to dissapear quickly though as I didn't want to chance it with the DD escorts, escaped quite easily. I play with all options enabled apart from external camera, whats the point of having eye candy if you can't see it .

I think I've got screens somewhere on my photobucket album too so I'll post them if anyone wants to see the damage.

Congratulations on your first BB kill Nerazzurri...always an achievement!

EDIT: Found the only screenshot I took, Revenges' last moments!

(I've just noticed, this isn't the right screen, shes going down stern first...I've hit the same convoy a few times on different careers so I think this is a later kill)
